This was posted like a month ago on some of the other forums, but I don't think anybody ever posted it here. Riho dancing during her ASH days (she's in/near the middle for almost the whole video). I thought it was impressive that she was (arguably) the best dancer there, despite being the second youngest.

^ ^ ^ Some of the large group performances you posted also have Nakamoto Suzuka from BABYMETAL. Funny coincidence that aine just posted a fan recording of BABYMETAL covering Tamashii no RUFURAN in the BABYMETAL thread. A H!P kenshuusei (Danbara Ruru) sang that song (as part of a group) while she was at ASH (she's the one with the pink accessories).

Oh, I know. I was just throwing a little snark, that's all. It seems like it wasn't that long ago that she was taking a lot of heat around here, but that appears to be waning, which I think I think is good, as she's probably the most well rounded member of the group at the moment.

It's only ever been uncool in the minds of people who can't handle this much awesome.

That's pretty awesome! Sometimes it seems that showbiz is such a small world when you can find such connections. Thanks for this bit of trivia, and thanks for digging up the videos too, Star.
